About this map

The high ridges of the Sublette Range and Muddy Ridge dominate this portion of Lincoln County as it appeared in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where Huff Creek and Little Muddy Creek flow through narrow valleys toward the larger Smiths Fork at the eastern edge of the quadrangle. High-altitude landmarks like Pine Knoll and the broad plateau of Collett Flat provide reference points for this high country.

Water management in this arid environment is evident at the Fourth Creek Reservoir and the various springs scattered throughout the drainages, including those feeding Huff Lake. To the southwest, the terrain descends into the Raymond Basin via the steep corridor of Raymond Canyon, illustrating the complex geological folds that characterize the Wyoming-Idaho borderlands. The map also records numerous fencelines and township boundaries that delineate ranching interests across these mountain slopes.
